Description:
------------
PDOStatement::execute() fails handling boolean 'false' 
parameter

To be noticed that the PHP TRUE bool value is handled 
correctly instead.


Reproduce code:
---------------
Long story short to reproduce:
- prepare $stat using '?' placeholders;
- assign the PHP FALSE bool value to one of these, when $stat->execute( $params_array );

Verified against PHP-5.1.4 PDO (PostgreSQL 8.1.4), both from pristine builds.

Expected result:
----------------
A (php) FALSE parameter is expected to be translated into a 
valid SQL "FALSE". 

According to my DBMS this is the case for "f", 0, FALSE.
I don't know if this bug is DB-specific though.

Actual result:
--------------
Instead of "FALSE" or 0 or "f" or whatever, it sends out to 
DBMS an empty string "". 

My DBMS (postgresql) complains profusely about this.

This is a test case that reprocess the error for me, using

PHP 5.5.8 (compiled using MacPorts)
PostgreSQL 9.3.2
SQLite library 3.8.2
OS X 10.9.1

<?php

/*
CREATE TABLE "booleantest" (
  "persistence_object_identifier" serial NOT NULL,
  "hidden" boolean NOT NULL
);
 */

$handle = new PDO('pgsql:host=127.0.0.1 dbname=testdb', 'foo', 'bar');
$handle->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

$statement = $handle->prepare('INSERT INTO booleantest (hidden) VALUES (?)');

// works as expected
$statement->execute(array(TRUE));
echo 'TRUE has been inserted' . PHP_EOL;

// dies with
// PDOException: SQLSTATE[22P02]: Invalid text representation: 7 ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type boolean: ""
$statement->execute(array(FALSE));
echo 'FALSE has been inserted' . PHP_EOL;

From the documentation of PDOStatement::execute()[1]:

| An array of values with as many elements as there are bound
| parameters in the SQL statement being executed. All values are
| treated as PDO::PARAM_STR.

Coercing TRUE to string yields "1"; coercing FALSE to string
yields "". Thus, the reported behavior is expected.  Explicitly
bind as PDO::PARAM_INT instead.
